4CAN I SHOW UP OVER ALL OF AUSTRALIA?

Google My Business is designed for local businesses. You won’t appear around the whole of Australia initially but if you follow our guidance with your online marketing and take further measure’s with your business’s online content there is the potential to improve your ranking in Australia. This is a lengthy process though and requires a large criteria to be completed to achieve such a wide audience.

5WHAT DOES 10 CATEGORIES MEAN?

Google has pre-defined categories that they have chosen that make your business easier to find for potential client’s. We will find the most relative categories and apply them to your Google My Business page giving you a higher chance of ranking well. This is one of the many criteria’s that impact your SEO rank.

6WHAT DOES CITATIONS DO FOR MY BUSINESS?

Citations act as a form of ‘voting’ for your business online. When we list your business on a large array of citations we are broadening the online presence. This is a gradual process and works similarly to how a business would grow in exposure off the web too. We primarily focus on listing some of the main details of your business and keeping it as consistent as possible across the web.

7HOW OFTEN DO YOU WORK ON MY PROFILE?

We are constantly working on your page while your subscribed with us. Part of the work we do is also listing your business in other part’s of the web. The work on your Google My Business page is ongoing and as Google’s algorithm’s are constantly changing there will always need to be updates as well.

8CAN I COME UP UNDER WHAT KEYWORD I WANT?

When we initially speak with you to setup your campaign we will ask you questions about your business and get an understanding of what your aiming for with your online advertising. Then we will perform a keyword analysis and find the best possible keyword’s that your business will rank under. This will involve analysing your competition too and understanding what the average customer is searching for when they look for your service.

9OTHER COMPANIES ARE GUARANTEEING RESULTS?

The only company that could potentially guarantee a first position ranking under a particular term is Google and they never have. If a company is guaranteeing you specific results it’s best to look into the fine print more. We do our very best to get you ranking well in Google under a range of term’s and realise diversity is key in any form of marketing so we avoid targeting one specif term. This can be costly and lead to failed promises.

1I COME UP ON GOOGLE UNDER MY NAME ALREADY?

You may come up under your business name in Google already but ideally you want to target customer’s that are searching for your service that haven’t heard of your business before.

2WHY DO I NOT COME UNDER GOOGLE NOW?

Your competitors might not be better or cheaper than you but if they come up on Google and you do not it means that they have managed to tell Google what is on their page. Google will list the companies on the first page that they think is the most relevant. You will engage us to help you become more relevant.

3WHY CAN I NOT DO THIS MYSELF?

Off course we can fix our own cars, build or own houses, and preform our own bypass surgeries but most of the time it’s a better idea to find a professional to do it for us.

4HOW MANY PHOTOS CAN YOU USE?

There is no limit to the amount of photo’s you can use on your Google My Business page. We encourage using as many as possible as it helps with the SEO process. We highly suggest 7 – 10 to get everything started and then intermittently adding more to create more exposure for your page.

5CAN I HIDE MY REVIEWS?

In today’s society there will always be talking about your business whether it’s offline or online. We encourage you to respond to all of the testimonials you get whether they are good or bad. You can’t delete reviews however with the ability to respond you can come to a resolution and get quality feedback about your business while also increasing your SEO dramatically as reviews are one of the most important ranking factors.

6DO I NEED TO SHOW MY ADDRESS?

You do not need to show your full address. Google has an option to hide the house number and street so that just your suburb is showing. It is best to show your full address for SEO but understandably that is not always possible.

7WHY DOES IT TAKES 3 WEEKS TO GO LIVE?

Your page take’s roughly 3 week’s to go live as Google send’s out a postcard from their head office in the US. This postcard is sent to your physical address to ensure your business is real and this will warrant your position on Google Maps. They won’t list any business on Google without verification processes.
